I mean, sure. But with Burns and Houston, as well as Haynes behind them...I didn't want to seem greedy. Lol

Business is Business.  You cannot have enough pass rushers. It's a long season a casualties happen along they way. I would talk to him to guage his interest at least.

Just got home from work.  I see Jensen and D. Wright made it.  Two guys I thought may make the initial 53.  Erving got cut too, which I thought was a possibility.  Kinda shocked Jones got cut along with both STO and Taylor...figured one of two would stick.  Bubble guys Shi Smith, Brandon Smith and McCray all got the axe.

The biggest surprise to me is the number of TEs that were kept, especially Sullivan.  Ricci was a bubble guy, so no huge shock, but how in the heck did Sullivan make it?  Congrats to Sullivan, Lee, Ray, Thurman, Wooten, Jensen and Wright on beating the odds.

Sullivan has apparently impressed coaches - he’s always shown flashes.  Hoping he fits in nicely here.  That being said - I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s cut if we make a move later on

The term you're looking for is expendable.  There's quite a few left that fit that description. They are on borrowed time.

Agreed.  Sullivan and Wright will be the first 2 to go IMO with any new signings.  We def need another OL and DL

I'm not too worried about the oline at the moment.  My concern is the defense. And to some extent the offense skill players. But depth is a concern all over the roster.  It's about the same as it has always been, but trending in the right direction, or at least the competency of the staff whose deciding it anyway.

Eh, DL and CB.  Remember BC can play left tackle and Mayes can play RT, Corbett will return eventually too.  With Jackson's and Horn's injury history, I'd like one more corner as insurance.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
